The Jean-Claude Courtault Estate
This is a family owned winery founded by Jean-Claude Courtault in 1984. A native of Touraine, Jean-Claude Courtault arrived in Lignorelles in 1974 to work as a vineyard manager for one of the villagees wine estates. In 1984, JC Courtault purchased 1.5 hectare of 4 year old vines in the Chablis area. Then, he rented a piece of land in the Chablis appellation area that he planted with the help of his wife, Marie-Chantal.
They released their first vintage in 1987 and the same year they were rewarded a gold medal at the "Concours Genaral des Vins de Paris" competition. This medal was just the first of many awards and prizes that have punctuated JC Courtaultes career, as a recognition of the quality and consistency of his wines. In 1995, the estate measured 12 hectares and progressively expanded to reach now 17.60 hectares in production. The total annual production for the Domaine is 1000 hectoliters on average, split between Chablis and Petit Chablis.
Jean Claude has been joined recently by his daughter Stephanie and her husband.
